Teaching Writing Across the Curriculum with AI
Writing Across the Curriculum Assignments, Classroom Activities, and Educational Resources for Higher Education
Students are provided with a comprehensive overview of artificial intelligence, covering its history, current applications, and future implications, which equips them with a broad understanding of the field.
Students explore and debate the ethical considerations and practical implications of using AI and detection tools in real-world contexts.
The assignment provides an extensive overview of copyright laws relevant to AI-generated content, including discussion of Creative Commons licensing.
The assignment includes activities that actively engage students with GenAI tools to brainstorm and refine research questions.
This curriculum introduces the technical details of how AI systems generate content using context, allowing students to engage actively with the material.
This activity provides an interactive and engaging approach where students can play with AI tools and explore GANs and discrimnators through activities like a password guessing game and painting with a generator.
Students engage in role-playing activities where they run their own companies and make ethical decisions. This hands-on approach helps them understand the practical implications of AI ethics.
This assignment highlights how AI can process large datasets much faster than humans, aiding environmentalists in protecting wildlife. By analyzing camera trap and satellite data, AI helps researchers make informed decisions and conservation plans.
This assignment teaches students how data becomes output in AI models and highlighting the presence of human biases in datasets. By exploring drawing in Google Quick, Draw!, students learn core AI ideas in a fun and interactive way.
The activity addresses biases in facial recognition, particularly how it fails more often on women and people with darker skin. It also discusses the ethical implications and legal responses to surveillance technology, fostering critical thinking and informed discussions among students.
This activity allows students to actively engage in the learning process by acting out different layers of a neural network and teaching others what they have learned.
This assignment helps students boost productivity by using ChatGPT to create personalized schedules that balance academic, personal, and work lives.
ChatGPT can assist in turning content into a question-and-answer format and creating interactive quizzes, enhancing the study experience. For students whose second language is English, ChatGPT can translate content into their native language, improving comprehension and retention.
Students use ChatGPT to receive explanations and definitions in various formats, with content progressing from simplified to more complex levels. Available formats include charts, graphs, images, audio recordings, videos, text summaries, games, and simulations.
By demonstrating how to use ChatGPT to retrieve forgotten terms, students learn valuable memory retrieval techniques. They understand how to describe the features of the term they are trying to recall, which helps in better communication and cognitive processing.
Students use ChatGPT to overcome writer’s block by filling in incomplete thoughts and generating ideas, making the writing process smoother and less intimidating.
ChatGPT helps students overcome writer’s block by generating an initial draft of an opening paragraph, allowing students to focus on revising and refining rather than starting from scratch.
This activity provides a thorough introduction to deepfakes, including definitions, how they work, and their impact on society, making it accessible even for those with no background knowledge. Students then engage in hands-on activities such as detecting deepfakes and creating their own, supplemented by videos and discussions to reinforce learning.
The assignment helps students develop their interpretation skills by engaging with ChatGPT to analyze the structure, themes, and arguments of a text, allowing them to gain a deeper understanding of various texts.
Students develop their ability to craft precise queries for AI tools, learning how to effectively ask for specific pieces of information and improve their research efficiency in handling extensive texts.
This policy statement from the National Art Education Association emphasizes the need for ethical and responsible integration of AI tools in the Arts classroom.
This policy, from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, highlights the role of AI in enhancing personalized learning, emphasizing the need for teachers to integrate AI ethically while maintaining their pedagogical and relational expertise.
This policy, from The Modern Language Association (MLA)-Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC) Joint Task Force on Writing and AI, provides a comprehensive overview of the implications of AI in writing and literature education.
The assignment provides students with practical experience in machine learning by engaging them in activities that involve training algorithms and analyzing data, making complex concepts more accessible through hands-on application.
